Guaranteed Days OFF (GDO) System

The AIMS GDO system will facilitate a more flexible rostering pattern for crew by allowing them ‘self manage’ a proportion of their days off within pre-defined parameters.

Crew will essentially be able to access the GDO interface from within AIMS e-Crew to efficiently book confirmed days off within their standard monthly day off entitlement, which would otherwise be allocated by the company.

As opposed to typical fixed days off roster patterns, with the GDO system in place, crew are able to plan personal activities on their days off in advance without the need to utilise leave or resort to sick day entitlements.

The AIMS APIS / MCL Manifests application allows the User to transmit a message either manually or automatically to Customs Authorities.

Manual transmission allows for the selection of a particular ight or a set of ights, followed by transmission of the form to a SITA or email address selected by the User.

Automatic transmission allows the application to monitor ights due to depart within a time interval specied by the User and automatically generates and sends the forms to a SITA or email address predened by the User.

Generates an initial Master Crew List (MCL) for all crew as well as a short MCL message each time biographical data about a crew change.

The User has the option to setup the APIS to send the forms to any country that is required to conform to these regulations.

Support for Australian and New Zealand APP requirements.

If there is a crew change after the APIS manifest has been sent, AIMS automatically re-transmits a new one with the new crew on board.

To avoid any nes and make sure APIS do get transmitted to the Authorities, AIMS does a double check and issues a warning to the Ops Controllers on shift if APIS has been delayed or not sent.
